Thoughts on girl name

So just a bit ago i posted a poll for spellings of Makenzi to see which one ppl preferred and I shared that one of the other options I had was Aelita. I had thought it would be too weird and get misspelled and mispronounced too much but ppl actually seemed to love it so i want to see if i can get more opinions.

No rudeness plz and I've already been through my spelling for Makenzi this isn't about that one.

The middle name would be Belle, so all together Aelita Belle. Mn not negotiable either it was by late maternal great grandmother's mn.

Well I already chimed in on the other thread but I will comment to bump this one. Love Aelita. I think too, people will ask how to spell it but remember. Whereas with MaKenzi people will just spell it whatever way they are used to from other McKenzi/Makenzi they know. Does that make sense?

It does. My mom had a similar problem now I think about it. Her name is Charyl. Ppl always say it wrong or spell it like it normally is. Her nn was Charlie, which is why if i have a boy it'll be Damen Charlie

Aelita is truly gorgeous, and flows beautifully with Belle. Yes, there will be some spelling/pronunciation corrections, but I think they’d be minor. The pronunciation is fairly intuitive, and the spelling makes sense. I don’t think it would be a horrendous hassle.

To the PP’s point, people learning Aelita would be simple enough, as it is uncommon and they’d be learning it fresh. But people trying to remember an unusual spelling of a common name like Mackenzie would be a pain in the arse; they’re already wired to that name, and the different spelling would become a huge hassle.

Yeah my sister used Elanor, which is a legit spelling, but everyone just writes Eleanor. She is ok with it, but the same relatives "miss spelling" the name can write my husband's name, Motoaki, because I think they probably say to themselves "Wait, better look it up on Facebook before I send the card" (or they've developed some way to remember, call another family member, etc).

My 5 yr olds name is Maya Mai. The same ppl over and over will write Maya Mia or even spell Maya wrong. If someone mispells Aelita I can understand but the boy name I chose is Damen Charlie so if anyone I'm my family mispells that I give up. Lol
